The official Toei Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters production website has posted some new info concerning the forthcoming Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger movie, which will see the return of the 35th anniversary Super Sentai team!

Set almost a year after the pirate Sentai left bound for the Zangyack home planet, they return to Earth completely different. The Go-Busters are in the midst of Earth’s greatest crisis when the Zangyack attacks Earth for the third time, only this time Enter is with them. But what is their real goal?

Also included in the post were some new (small) images from the movie, which potentially gives us a glimpse of the new villains appearing. You can check these out after the jump!

Go-Busters vs Gokaiger is due for release in Japan on January 19th 2013.

Thanks to Henshin Justice for speaking with producers

This report from the ongoing licensing expo gives some unusual insight into the selection of Megaforce:


You may be wondering why Power Rangers Megaforce used Goseiger rather than Gokaiger, which was an ideal season based on the successful execution of the anniversary concepts. I wasn’t able to get a solid answer for this question. They believed that Gokaiger’s pirate theme was more focused for boys (rather than boys and girls) and the concepts of stealing and plundering were too hardcore for a young audience.

Despite a grim outlook for the Legendary Pirates, an updated report suggests more to this Sentai selection than meets the eye:

They are unable to skip a season, which makes sense because Goseiger comes before Gokaiger. Gokaiger fans will be very pleased when the time is right. Unlike the Shinkenger adaptation, Power Rangers Megaforce has gone through an extensive creative process in hopes to deliver a great product for the anniversary.

The iconic and fan-favorite 35th Super Sentai series, “Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger” will be dubbed for a new audience in South Korea this July, under the somewhat uninspired title Power Rangers: Captain Force.

Usually a Korean launch also means a second chance at some of the harder-to-find Gokaiger toys for collectors, so keep an eye on the stores! :)

Earlier this year rumours began to circulate that an interview with TOEI executive Takeyuki Suzuki in the February issue of Hyper Hobby magazine mentioned the possibility of filming brand new Legend war footage for Power Rangers’ 20th anniversary, with all pre-Zyuranger teams removed.

Now, courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited user Nerefir the interview has been translated, and does indeed suggest that TOEI will be filming new footage for the anniversary. The translated portion of the interview has been included below.

HH: 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, isn’t it.
Suzuki: At first we got an offer from America to do something like “199 Heroes,” but of course Power Rangers started with Zyuranger, so the characters before that don’t exist. “So just get rid of those parts.” (laughs) We can’t do that either, so the discussion became “Let’s just film new footage with the 20 years’ worth that we do need.”

HH: Power Rangers has already been reimported and dubbed with the voices of the actors that played in the Japanese original. That’s very interesting.
Suzuki: Yes, once you get used to it, it’s very interesting. But there’s a cost to getting the actors to dub, so we can’t really do it much.

HH: Lately they have events even in Taiwan. In Asia, it’s not really “Power Rangers,” is it?
Suzuki: I suppose. Originally they would just broadcast the Japanese version in east Asia. They’ve been doing that in Taiwan for 7 years now. It’s not really profitable, but they wanted to try it out, so they did it. It’s gotten an unusually good reaction.

HH: So then, what are the prospects for sentai, including Power Rangers, in 2012?
Suzuki: In America it will be the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, so they have to put forth a lot of work. In preparation for that, they asked us to “film the parts with the sentai (from Zyuranger on) in Japan.” We’re currently setting up for that.

What does this mean for the 20th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise? Sound off your thoughts after the jump!
